The most famous eruption occurred in 79 AD. I think that is the one you're asking about. However, there were earlier eruptions that might be argued as more destruction. I think one in the bronze age wiped out more area.

∙ 12y agoMount. vesuvius most deadliest eruption was in 79.AD , most famously know as "the pompeii eruption "
A "firestorm" of poisonous vapors and molten debris engulfed the surrounding area suffocating the inhabitants of the neighboring Roman resort cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae. Tons of falling debris filled the streets until nothing remained to be seen of the once thriving communities. The cities remained buried and undiscovered for almost 1700 years until excavation began in 1748. These excavations continue today and provide insight into life during the Roman Empire.
